Specify Active Report Properties

You can specify properties for active reports, such as the text that appears in the browser window title bar, the maximum number of rows that a report can contain, and an access code that users must enter to view a report.

Procedure

From the File menu, click Active Report Properties.
To specify the title that will appear in the browser window title bar when the report is viewed, under Window Title, type the title that you want.
If you want to specify the window title in other languages, do the following:
- Under Window Title, click the ellipsis button.
- Click the add button .
- Select the languages that you want.
- In the Language column, click one of the languages that you selected.
- Click the edit button and type the window title for that language.
In the Window Startup Size box, choose among the available options to specify the size of the browser window when an active report is viewed.
In the Maximum query rows box, specify the maximum number of rows of data that the report can contain.
If the number of rows of data returned when the report is run exceeds this value, an error message appears, and users will not be able to view the report.
If you do not want to compress the MHT file that is produced when the active report is run, clear the Compress the active report output check box.
Compressing the output reduces the size of MHT files so that active reports can support more data and load faster in browsers and mobile devices.
If you made changes to the Window Startup Size, Maximum query rows, or Compress the active report output properties and you want those changes to become the default values when you create new active reports, click Change defaults.
To specify an access code that users will have to enter to view the report, enter the code in the Access code box.
You can use any Unicode character in the access code, and there is no limit to the number of characters an access code can contain.

The access code will not be hidden or treated like a password when entered (* will not appear as the code is entered). Users will have three attempts to enter the correct code, after which the active report will shut down. To try again, users have to reopen report.

Note: The access code is a tool to help prevent the unauthorized consumption of an active report within an organization. It is not an enterprise grade security solution.
